Florida is a no-fault divorce state. Either party can file to legally end the marriage, and the only grounds required are irreconcilable differences or incurable insanity. All issues of property division, custody, and financial support are resolved before the final divorce judgment is signed by the judge. My office can help you whether the divorce is going to be uncontested or contested.

An uncontested divorce means that both parties agree on everything, such as child support, custody, visitation, division of property and debts, and alimony, if any. An uncontested divorce can take as little as four weeks from the time that both parties have signed the marital settlement agreement. If the matter is contested, that is, there are issues which the Court has to decide, such as custody, child support, or alimony, etc., the case can take six months or much longer. Hopefully at some point short of a trial, the case can be settled through compromise by both parties or through the mediation process.
